Method and system for identifying geolocationally relevant contacts and acquiring their contact data

A computer program product for identifying geolocationally relevant contacts and acquiring their contact data comprising:

• a nontransitory computer readable medium;
• and computer program code, encoded on the computer readable medium, comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed via any set of one or more processors, perform the following:
• obtaining first party geolocation data indicating a geolocation of a first party from a first party computing system associated with the first party, wherein the first party geolocation data is obtained from a communication signal used and/or emitted by the first party computing system;
• obtaining data indicating one or more contact parties associated with the first party;
• defining a relevant contact party radius representing a distance from the geolocation of the first party such that contact parties associated with the first party within the relevant contact party radius are considered relevant contact parties with respect to the first party;
• obtaining contact party geolocation data indicating the geolocation of at least one of the contact parties associated with the first party;
• analyzing the first party geolocation data and the contact party geolocation data and identifying a relevant contact party within the relevant contact party radius;
• obtaining contact data for the identified relevant contact party;
• and
• providing the contact data for the identified relevant contact party to one or more applications associated with the first party computing system.

A system for identifying geolocationally relevant contacts and acquiring their contact data comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory having stored therein instructions which when executed by any set of the one or more processors, perform a process for identifying geolocationally relevant contacts and acquiring their contact data, the process for identifying geolocationally relevant contacts and acquiring their contact data including:
